I was being pushed down into the ground, my eyes locked on The Music Meister. He knelt down on one knee and held my chin, that smug smile returning to his face.
"Haven't seen you before." He remarked and I sneered at him, on the inside excited to be this close to him but on the outside not liking the current situation.
"You're a new one." He continued, "A pretty new one." My sneer faded at that, on the inside happy to be receiving a compliment but on the outside confused because of receiving it. The Music Meister released me and rose back to his feet.
I will soon control Gotham
Its people at my feet
So give up now Batman
Soon even your little partner will tweet.
I craned my neck to see that Batman was beginning to be swarmed and the thought of him losing popped into my head. I actually felt kind of sad that I wouldn't be the one to defeat Batman but at the moment there was other, bigger things to worry about. More and more opponents came at Batman and more and more of them were landing punches. The Music Meister laughed again and I watched, now in horror, as about the tenth punch got Batman in the jaw and he was forced back a few steps. After that it turned into a high school group beat down where Batman was being punched to another person, than they would punch them to another person, then the whole process repeated. I felt dread as I realised we were about to lose.
The Music Meister laughed again evilly before singing, which though beautiful was now becoming overkill.
Batman will soon be at my mercy
I honestly never thought this day would come
And so quickly too but then again
I am Gotham's rising sun.
"It's star stupid! Rising star!" I yelled angrily and The Music Meister gave me a glare from behind his glasses before returning his attention to Batman. I looked just in time to see one last punch send Batman to the ground, almost unconscious. The Music Meister grinned evilly and for the first time that day, I stopped to look properly, legitimately curious. I could have sworn I knew something familiar about that grin, something very familiar. Batman didn't get up and The Music Meister actually gave a whoop of joy before he looked again at me, which also snapped my attention and gaze back to him.
And now for Batman's flyer
That while pretty must become my pawn
Remove her earplugs my slaves
Now to me she will fawn
The guy on top of me pressed harder on me, pressing my chin to the polished wooden boards of the stage as another of The Music Meister's hypnotized came up to the stage and bent towards me. I struggled to get the other off me as hands reached for my earplugs.
